I've seen the discussions about Linked Open Data recently.  I think LOD is great, but the more important need for us is a restful json (or xml) api. I know the new eMuseum product has this. I've seen it and it looks awesome - the product and api!

I am bringing this up because MoMA and Tate are discussing a system that we both have for digitally-born art for Conservation.  It uses a json api for TMS data, but it is custom built.

The question to all of you is much like the LOD comments; are other museums using their own json or xml web services? Is there interest to develop one?  Just wondering how important it is to others. Thanks!

Best regards,
